New Owner Will Continue Gospel From The Vine

In February 2005, Mae Rodgers launched “an interactive, community-minded Christian radio station sponsoring a series of Gospel shows and events” from a small house in Washington, N.C. A pause in operations came in February 2008, with broadcasting resuming in December 2011.

In 2013, expansion was seen for what’s now billed as “The Vine Connection.” A Class A FM was added to the mix, serving an area to the east of its Class D AM daytimer.

Now, Rodgers is saying farewell to this part of North Carolina, as she’s agreed to a sale of the AM — and its FM translator.
